Green Day has canceled the remaining dates on its 2012 tour, as well as scheduled dates for January and February of next year, as frontman Billie Joe Armstrong continues his stint in rehab.

“Obviously the timing for this isn’t ideal, but Billie Joe’s well-being is our main concern,” bassist Mike Dirnt said in a statement. “We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.

The canceled shows include a Dec. 1 date at Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento and Dec. 4 at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.

According to E! News, the tour was originally set to launch on Sept. 26 in Seattle. Tickets for the 2012 club shows will be refunded, and new dates for the 2013 appearances will be announced shortly.

As a thank-you to their fans for their continued support, Green Day also announced they will move up the release date of Â¡Tre!–their third installment in a trio of albums–to Dec. 11 (it was originally set to launch Jan. 15).

“We feel bad we have to delay our tour, so to make up for it we want to give our fans the music earlier than we had planned,” said drummer Tré Cool. “If we couldn’t be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing.”

Armstrong checked into rehab for substance abuse last month following his onstage meltdown at the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas.
